Can you avoid the WII U?

I have no intention of avoiding it, pre-ordered. ;)

Guys I was just curious as GAMERS, how it is that you can possibly avoid the WiiU this Fall when it launches? I would think that the vast majority of us appreciate the latest and greatest that gaming has to offer and with the next XBOX and PS probably atleast 6-12 months away if not longer, I persoanlly will be getting a WiiU day one if for nothing else, I get to play ZombiU, Blops 2, Madden 13 and NBA 2K13. Yes, I know 3 of those 4 are multiplats, but just the ability to play on the WiiU tablet is very interesting to me.ShoTTyMcNaDeS

Shouldn't be too hard, I've skipped out on Nintendo consoles since N64.

I´m not going to avoid it,I´m simply not interested in it at all.Arach666

Likewise...

Have nothing against Nintendo and their systems, but they just don't hold any appeal to me...

I have Two Premium Wii U's reserved.

Although, I'm certainly not buying multiplatform games on it, as I could get those elsewhere.

I am getting exclusives for it just like my Wii, Gamecube, and N64.

My Wii U will be turned on for the latest Marios, Zeldas, and other high quality exclusives.

EDIT,

Nintendoboy16 wants to understand more about my Wii U views :

In the unlikely even the Wii U multiplat version is superior to the PC, 360, PS3, 720, and PS4, I will pick up the Wii U multiplat version. :o

That's a tall order, especially when we consider online connectivity is huge in today's market. Games with online connectivity like Tekken, ME3, COD, and ACIII I'm avoiding on Wii as I'm not convinced Nintendo's network is up to snuff based on what Nintendo's President said "PSN and XBL are too far ahead" http://www.computerandvideogames.com/353614/iwata-xbox-live-and-psn-are-too-far-developed-for-nintendo-to-catch-up/#

Speaking of multiplats I would consider buying, Tekken Tag Tourney 2 :

http://www.destructoid.com/tekken-producer-on-wii-u-online-i-don-t-understand-it--235263.phtml (Tekken's Harada talking about Wii U's online not being understood)

Of course, I'm open to a multiplat being somehow superior on the Wii U (Technologically probably not, but that Tablet if devs aren't lazy maybe), I did buy RE4 on Gamecube after all. ;) :P I can pretty much tell you now the best uses of the Tablet are going to come from EXCLUSIVES, especially Nintendo developed games.

There are more links, but this is enough. My dang EDIT is larger than my original tiny post in trying to educate and answer you properly Nintendoboy! :lol: :P

From my understanding, you won't even be buying a Wii U at launch. I don't blame you. The Wii U will probably be $100 cheaper by next year, and a lot more Wii U exclusives to buy one year from now.

My pragmatic view comes from Nintendo's lower tech in the Wii U going into a new 5-6 year generation. Those lower Wii U Tech specs are expected to carry the Wii U through the generation, one the devs are currently begging for stronger hardware. My pragmatic Nintendo view also comes from my long history with Nintendo, ever since the Arcade and then later my first Nintendo console, the NES. It was the N64 generation that things 3rd party relations just weren't the same on the Nintendo home console platforms (Don't bother telling me why, I already know). I then had hope the Gamecube would be different. I then banked on the Wii Being different. At this point, no, I have no strange expectations.

I already know though, the Wii U is going to be very, very, very, very similar to the N64, GC, and Wii situation with me buying pretty much high quality exclusives only. :P

It doesn't appeal to me.

I tried to, but after seeing more info I think I'm giving in.

Not avoiding I just don't care, same with everyone I know.

i'm not interested in the wii-u, i wanna see what sony and microsoft are doing for thier next consoles, nintendo is playing catch up

I'd rather buy another 360, a console with no games.. than a WiiU:lol:

For all the hate their systems get, much of it deserved imo (as the Wii for example is the weakest, crappest 7th gen console)... as a gamer I still definitely don't wanna miss out on Nintendo and Platinum exclusives. [QUOTE="nintendoboy16"][QUOTE="SolidTy"]

Besides, not all PC versions of multiplats are good and can sometimes be the worst version.

I waited for the Wii to drop to 100 dollars before i got one, will probably do the same thing with the Wii U.

WiiU won't be $100 till probably the Next Nintendo System will be out. By that time you would have missed out on all the Exclusives.

Games from Early in the Console Cycle won't always be there when you get them very late in the cycle.

Even if they are there some of them have began to go up in price because they're no longer being Printed.

There's a window to where the Games come out at $60 and then down to $20 or lower and eventually they'll go up again because they're not common to find anymore.

Tales of Symphonia (Gamecube) is now $23.29 Used and now aparently it's Sequel Tales of Symphonia: Dawn of a New World (Wii)is $21.69 used, for example.

I'm just pointing that out.

No Rayman: Legends at launch, so I probably won't get one until next year.

Very easy to avoid ATM. I could get one when it's cheaper and has more impressive exclusive library.

Which is still hella cheaper then buying them brand new?locopatho

You got me there, but it there's still the fact that games like those will increase through time rather than Decrease.

I got my Tales of Symphonia Dawn of a New World for $15.

yeah, I'm gonna waste $300 on a Wii U to play a bunch of old multiplats and average looking games like Zombie U.... :roll:

Assassin's Creed 3 and Call of Duty Black Ops 2 are now old.

And that game you were having a sook over for about 20 pages. What was it called? Oh yeah Bayonetta 2. :D

I couldn't avoid it when the Bayonetta 2 megaton hit my house.

I can, as I have no money, but I'm not avoiding it because I want to. It would be really convenient for me if they would release Dark Souls on Wii-U also, as I also have to buy a PS3 for that.

Yeah I could.

Why would I avoid it?

I´m not going to avoid it,I´m simply not interested in it at all.Arach666

Like the plague :o

j/k but I'll likely wait a few years before getting one and even then, much will depend upon the price and the worth of the next Zelda. :P

Just like I avoided the Wii I will avoid the WiiU.
